Strategies Unlimited Announces New Dates for Strategies in Optical Amplifiers.Business/Technology Editors MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 14, 2002 Silicon Valley-based Strategies Unlimited, the leading market research firm for optical networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. components, has rescheduled its second annual business conference on optical amplifiers for February 6-7,2003. The Strategies in Optical Amplifiers conference will focus on the issues created by continued turmoil and anemic anemic pertaining to anemia. capital spending capital spending Spending for long-term assets such as factories, equipment, machinery, and buildings that permits the production of more goods and services in future years. in the telecom sector. The conference will be held at the San Mateo San Mateo (săn mətā`ō), city (1990 pop. 85,486), San Mateo co., W Calif., on San Francisco Bay; inc. 1894. It is a commercial and retail center with some high-technology manufacturing. San Mateo, Spanish for St. Marriott in San Mateo, California San Mateo is a city in San Mateo County, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is one of the larger suburbs on the San Francisco Peninsula, located between Burlingame to the north, Foster City to the East, and Belmont to the south. . Confirmed speakers for this conference include: -- Ravi Ramaswami, Cisco Systems -- Robert Keyes, Nortel Networks -- Dhrupad Trivedi, JDS Uniphase -- Akira Fujisaki, Furukawa Electric -- Steve Grady, Arista Networks The severe drop-off in capital expenditures by carriers has shifted the focus of optical amplifier vendors from visionary designs to immediate-term survival. Carriers, systems vendors, amplifier subsystem manufacturers, and component providers will gather at Strategies in Optical Amplifiers 2002 to discuss the actions being taken throughout the supply chain to adapt to today's market. As carriers slashed their capital spending in 2001 and 2002, the optical amplifier industry saw a near cessation of business, with revenues at the module level dropping from over $3 billion in 2000 to under $100 million in 2002. Excess inventories continue to plague suppliers. The increasing number of carrier bankruptcies and revelations of troubling accounting practices has muddied the outlook further. At the same time, however, technological progress on optical amplifiers continues, and must continue. Capital spending will increase again at some point, and suppliers must not only survive until then, but also be prepared with the right products when recovery takes place. Strategies in Optical Amplifiers provides a forum for exploring these issues with industry leaders responsible for purchasing, manufacturing and supplying, and financing the optical amplifier industry. The conference will address the commercial outlook for optical amplifiers and prospects for, given recent reductions in capital spending by carriers, deployment of next-generation network architectures, and the new designs for the amplifiers themselves. Suppliers and buyers will examine the principal applications for optical amplifiers, including ultra-long-haul, long-haul, and metro applications, as well as the changing roles of Raman, EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) A device that boosts the signal in an optical fiber. Introduced in the late 1980s, the EDFA was the first successful optical amplifier. , SOA (1) (Start Of Authority) The first record in a DNS zone file. See DNS records.
